But I clicked it anyway, mainly to see if my guess of "Renaming it for Reagan: Great Idea, or Greatest Idea Ever?" turned out to be true.

Meh, sort of. But this "article" ends with a youtue montage of Reagan's "wittiest" moments, which you are encouraged to watch. It's not a sidebar...it's part of the article. Click it! It has over one million views, shouldn't you be one of them!?

You gotta be f*ckin me. Congress already blackmailed the Washington Airport Authority and made them change the name of Washington National Airport to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. They said "Change the name or else we're not releasing the money for improvements at National and Dulles". Reminds me of how Congress blackmailed the states to either raise their drinking age to 21 or get no Federal highway funds. Blackmail, it's illegal....except when the Government does it.

Are you kidding? Not only are they still pretending he -- excuse me, "He" with a capital H -- would not be run out of the Party on a rail for being too liberal, they are holding (their perception of) Him as their standard. Anybody who would have done anything even slightly differently than the way (they believe) He would have done is formally excommunicated from the Party; and none dare even think about blaspheming His name, lest they find out what sort of punishment the Party has in store for anyone who commits such a sin.

It will not be long until the following is made the new official motto of the Republican Party:

Y'know, it's like NIxon. Nixon may hove done some good things, but that whole Watergate thing removes him from most people's lists. And like Nixon, Reagan may hove done some good things, too. But that who Iran-Contra-Nun-Raping thing would remove him from most people's lists.

I sometimes wonder if part of the Republican mindset is to favor mythology over facts. It would seem to explain the right wing media's incessant deification of Reagan over the last 25 years. It would also explain why they seem to ignore the facts of his time in office. Can't let reality get in the way of a hard-forged creation story, you know.
